Mr. Speaker, today, all throughout Bruce—Grey—Owen Sound, residents are performing good deeds to honour one of Bruce—Grey's finest, Mr. Bob Wallace.
It was one year ago today that we lost the loveable radio personality to complications from an undiagnosed case of leukemia. Bob was truly a community icon and touched numerous lives both on the air and off. On numerous mornings at precisely 8:08, Bob would present the time to his listeners. He would ask “What does that spell? Why Bob of course”, and 8:08 affectionately became known as “Bob O'clock”.
To honour Bob's memory and community legacy, The Dock radio station is asking everyone to participate in its “Eight Hundred and Eight Good Deeds Day” by performing a small good deed in their local community. Whatever the deed, be sure to post and use #808gooddeeds.
I encourage all residents of Bruce—Grey—Owen Sound, all members of the House and all Canadians to perform a good deed in memory of the one and only Bob Wallace.
